I couldn’t resist this lovely picture from inside a concrete multistorey carpark in Wollongong CBD. Thanks for looking.
Climbing Kid by Peter Hill

Climbing Kid was shot in RAW using a Canon EOS 10D with 28-90mm zoom at 50mm, ISO 100, f5.6 at 1/500th of a second, on a birght sunny morning. At the beach. Jones Beach on the south coast of NSW. The sand was just out of frame. Hence, no children, ie my youngest son, were harmed in the making of this image or put in harm’s way. It is also a candid image. Image was converted in Phtooshop CS2. I then grayscaled it and used history brush to re-insert my son’s colouring (he’s a fashion nightmare, btw). Lighting effect achieved by using the default flashlight setting in Filter/Render/Lighting Effect, centering it on my son, and widening the circle. The rock is volcanic lava, the effect caused by airbubbles during flow being trapped.

Landscape for Orson Wells # 1: Wedge by Juilee P Pryor

Just lately I’ve been having a nice time posting all sorts of random things for all sorts of distracted reasons and thats been lots of fun. But time to run another series across the screens of bubbleland…..and that can only mean Infrared images are coming up. I love the dark and mysterious light that can be inticed into being with B/W infrared film…. and yes all my IR work is done the old fashioned way with film….. Kodak High Speed Infrared film to be exact. This particular series was shot in Sydney some years ago at the old Reschs site on Lachlan Street as it was being demolished to make way for a new housing development in the inner city. I was fascinated with the destruction of all the old buildings and how the hidden backs of structures of were revealed by the rolling waves of demolition. This urban landscape of ruined reality and brand new dreams set in the piles of rubble took on a profoundly mysterious atmosphere and became a landscape setting suitable for colonization by the imagination…...hence the title of the series…..Landscape for Orson Wells….. this one is the first and its the very corner of a building that no longer exists…. except in this photo…..... so it can now be a building anywere you fancy it to be and it can signify any thing that you the viewer would like it to mean…....
